The entire first grade (all 10 classes!) at West U participated in Camp Read-a-Lot yesterday at school. It was such a fun idea! Basically, it was like the kids went off to reading camp for the day. They packed up sleeping bags, pillows, lanterns, flashlights and loads of books for a full day of reading!
On Thursday, the kids tie-dyed shirts and then they all wore them to camp. Here's my big boy all ready for reading camp.
The parents were asked to make care packages that would be distributed at mail call by the camp counselor (teacher).
Henry and I each wrote a letter to Will. Henry added some stickers to his letter.
We packed a special snack too. I thought disassembled s'mores would be the perfect fit for camp!
Since it was a reading camp, we were asked to provide books in the care package. Will got Wizardology, Mummies and Pyramids (Magic Treehouse Fact Tracker), and The Captain Underpants Extra-Crunchy Book o' Fun.
Check out all these care packages for the class!
I am the class photographer this year, so I got to visit Camp Read-a-Lot and take photos of all the campers. Since Henry is out of school, he got to tag along.
The campers!
Will loves Harry Potter, so he was reading Quidditch Through the Ages.
Henry brought along one of our Fly Guy books so he could read too.
There was even a campfire. How fun!
Camp Read-a-Lot was a perfect idea for the end of the school year when the kids are tired and grades are turned in. It turned a full day of reading into a really fun event for the kids. Can I go to Camp Read-a-Lot next year?
